ACTION: Notice.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: In compliance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 
U.S.C. 3501 et seq.), this notice announces that the Information 
Collection Request (ICR) abstracted below has been forwarded to the 
Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for review and comment. The ICR 
describes the nature of the information collections and their expected 
burden. The Federal Register Notice with a 60-day comment period was 
published on November 28, 2006 [68 FR 68887-68888].

DATES: Comments must be submitted on or before March 28, 2007.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Kevin Ball at the National Highway 
Traffic Safety Administration, Office of the Chief Information Officer, 
(NPO-400), 202-366-5649, 400 Seventh Street, SW., Room 6132, 
Washington, DC 20590.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: National Highway Traffic Safety 
Administration.
    Title: Air Bag Deactivation.
    OMB Number: 2127-0588.
    Type of Request: Extension of a currently approved information 
collection.
    Abstract: If a private individual or lessee wants to install an air 
bag on-off switch to turn-off either or both frontal air bags, they 
must complete HS Form 603 which is approved under OMB 2127-0588 to 
certify certain statements regarding use of the switch. The dealer or 
business must, in turn, submit the completed forms to NHTSA within 
seven days. The submission of the completed forms by the dealers and 
repair business to NHTSA, as required, will serve the agency several 
purposes. They will aid the agency in monitoring the number of 
authorization requests submitted and the pattern in claims of risk 
groups membership. The completed forms will enable the agency to 
determine whether the dealers and repair business are complying with 
the terms of the exemption, which include a requirement that the 
dealers and repair businesses accept only fully completed forms. 
Finally, submission of the completed forms to the agency will promote 
honesty and accuracy in the filling out of the forms by vehicle owners. 
The air bag on-off switches are installed only in vehicles in which the 
risk of harm needs to be minimized on a case-by-case basis.
    Affected Public: Private individuals, fleet owners and lessees, 
motor vehicle dealers, repair business.
    Estimated Total Annual Burden: 7,500 hours.

ADDRESSES: Send comments, within 30 days, to the Office of Information 
and Regulatory Affairs, Office of Management and Budget, 725-17th 
Street, NW., Washington, DC 20503, Attention NHTSA Desk Officer.
